Badger! Badger! Badger! Shelter is the game that lets you badger it up

Every once in a while a game concept comes along that makes you pause and say, “Well, that’s different!” Shelter is one of those games. The player takes on the role of a mother badger protecting her litter from all manner of dangers while foraging for food and trying to survive. I’d say that’s a concept that seems pretty far removed from the endless parade of games with military men shooting at each other.

As the mother of a litter of cubs you are forced out from familiar and safe surroundings to find new shelter in a beautiful, but dangerous world. The harsh reality of nature plays a pivotal role in the game whilst at the same time Shelter aims to pay a homage to the great outdoors and all its imposing beauty.

Might and Delight, makers of Pid and Bionic Commando: Rearmed, say that Shelter “focuses heavily on creating attachment” to the spunky band of badgers. It is currently on Steam Greenlight gathering votes for approval.
